The safety requirement hasn't disappeared; it has simply been moved to a broader directive (**AD/GENERAL/74 Amendment 1**) that covers all aircraft types rather than singling out this specific model.\n\n**Who it affects:** Owners and operators of Piper PA-32 series aircraft. You don't need to follow this specific directive number anymore, but you must still comply with the replacement general directive regarding seatbelt and shoulder harness standards."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-pa-32-23-front-seat-restraint-installations-modification-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-pa-32-23-front-seat-restraint-installations-modification-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-pa-32-23-front-seat-restraint-installations-modification-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-pa-32-23-front-seat-restraint-installations-modification-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-pa-32-23-front-seat-restraint-installations-modification-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-pa-32-23-front-seat-restraint-installations-modification-cancelled/documents"}}
